2d contour depth cuts with taper wall


Recommended Posts

Can i start and end in the same spot when using cutter comp on a 2d contour?  Right now i am trying to cut a 37.5 deg. angle on the inside of a part with a button saw cutter. I want to start and end in the same spot because the tool is really close to the hole size.

You can put a wireframe point where you want the center of the tool to start and end. Then in the chain manager chain that wireframe point. In the toolpath parameters > Lead in / Out > check the "use entry point" and "use exit point" checkboxes. Note, the chained point usually needs to be before the contour chain in the chain manager for this to work.
